Hi, this is my first post on the board, and i'd like to give my 2 cents

What about a monk unit trained in the monastery?
It should be basically a melee hand to hand unit
It might have a counter ability (something like it deals additional damage when attacked) or an evade ability
It could also have a healing ability with a "self" range (he can only heal himself)
What do you think?

Hmm... I could see an evasive ability getting VERY annoying after a while. just throw a few of these guys on the front lines, with some archers to back them up, and as the opponent keeps trying to kill these little evasive guys you just peck at their front lines with archers.

Although I don't see how effective a bare fist could be against swordn'board
